Study internationally: Double Degree Programmes

We cooperate with renowned schools worldwide. Our Double Degree programmes allow you to gain international experience, broaden your perspective and supplement your MEcon degree with a second Master’s degree from leading business universities.

Please note that you can only apply for the following double degree programmes once you have started the MEcon programme at the University of St. Gallen. A direct application for the double degree programme is not possible.

As a MEcon student you have the great opportunity to benefit of the Double Degree programme with the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) and supplement your HSG Master’s degree with a second Master’s degree from SSE within two years.

During the first year, double degree students attend courses in the MEcon degree at the University of St.Gallen. In the second year, double degree students attend specific economic courses at SSE. The courses at SSE are taught in English.

Candidates successfully completing the necessary requirements at both universities will be awarded two full Master's degrees, one from each institution.

The cooperation offers a variety of degree combinations. All in all, more than 30 different Master’s programmes are involved and this results in a wide variety of combinations for more extensive studies in the same or a similar major or for the choice of an additional major. After 2 – 2.5 years of successful studies you obtain two full Master’s degrees from two leading European business universities.

As a MEcon student the CEMS Master in International Management is open to you as well. CEMS – The Global Allicance in Management Education – is a strategic alliance of 31 of the world’s leading business universities and over 70 multinational corporations. The double degree programme has been ranked in the top ten of the global Financial Times Management Ranking for many years.

The one-year CEMS MIM curriculum is based on five pillars: internationalism, business-embeddedness, responsible citizenship, reflective critical thinking, and comprehensive leadership.
